TSH Monitoring and Dose Adjustment (Per Harrison’s):
✅ Normal TSH Range:
0.4 – 4.0 mIU/L (some labs accept up to 5.0)
🟠 TSH 5.0:
Mildly elevated, but improved from baseline 9.0
Suggests partial correction, dose is likely effective
But may still need slight adjustment if target is full normalization
🟢 Recommended Plan:
Continue current dose (100 mcg) for 6–8 more weeks without missing any days
Repeat TSH at 8 weeks total from current dose stability
If TSH drops into 1–3 range, maintain or reduce to 88 mcg
If still >5, increase slightly only under supervision (to 112.5 mcg)
❗Important Notes:
Do not change the dose on your own
Take Thyronorm on empty stomach, same time daily
Avoid iron/calcium supplements within 4 hours of dosing
📘 Reference:
Harrison’s Manual of Medicine, Endocrinology section:
TSH should be monitored 6–8 weeks after dose change; adjust dose in 12.5–25 mcg steps. Goal TSH: mid-normal range for age.

Hi .. tsh -9 is not always need to take medicine, there is few exceptions. Do you have any complaints. If No then please stop medicine . Repeat your TFT at standard lab in early morning with fasting conditions. If it TSH still high go for anti - tpo … if it come positive then only go for thyroxine. Otherwise no need to take medicine. Just keep on monitoring your TSH 6 monthly as your tsh is on borderline. If you have symptoms related with hypothyroid then go for thyroxine. Although your doctor give high dose with 1 st contact which is not good . Please visit or consult MD physician or Endo person .

Hi,
Ideally,no
Don't reduce the dosage because TSH is at the normal range. It's normal with the supplementation.
Having said that, it's unusual for a young male to develop hypothyroidism. We need to figure out why that happened and see if it's something that can be reversed.
Do consult

First of all from your reports , it appears you donot have hyperthyroid means excess of hormone. You have hypothyroidism means less of thyroid hormone..
Please visit an endocrinologist to have clearity on disease , future course, dose adjustment and report interpretation..
